Pakistani Politicians A Threat To National Security

The biggest problem facing Pakistan is not the so-called lawyers’ movement. It is external threats from our enemies and internal threats from these corrupt politicians. They are like wolves after a deer. Too many wolves will kill the deer and each other as well. We the people of Pakistan will not be duped this time around. This is now or never. We must take these politicians to task. This time Yahya Khan will not get a military burial, and Bhutto will not become Prime Minister. This time Jamat-e-Islami and its new found nuisance-spreading partner PTI will not be allowed to fool us. Nawaz Sharif will be the sore loser in all this. We don’t want this ‘Yankee-coated Democracy’.

KARACHI, Pakistan—While the nation is going through the toughest time of its history, while people are being killed because of the inadequacies of this government, while U.S. drone attacks are killing our people, while our government lies to the public habitually, all that our opposition parties can think of is the godforsaken lawyers’ movement

My fellow citizens please wake up and realize that our politicians are fooling us again and they are pathological liars. It was Henry Kissinger that gave green light to India’s plan to break up East Pakistan and create Bangladesh. India dare not do so without U.S. approval. Pakistani politicians knew this very well but still started a movement against President Ayub Khan to remove him. Why? Because the U.S wanted Gen. Yahya Khan in power, so it conveniently used our politicians to dupe the public into believing that all ills of the country will be solved by removing Ayub from power. The treachery doesn’t end there. When Yahya had Mujeeb arrested for being the worst traitor of the soil, it was Bhutto who led the movement to stop Mujeeb’s house arrest and his execution. It was Bhutto who boycotted the roundtable conferences. It was Bhutto who lay indisposed for three days in his hotel Waldorf-Astoria U.N. Plaza Park suite when the most crucial resolution for Pakistan was being debated! On the last day he walked into the U.N. Security Council and tore off the resolution and waving the torn paper to the stunned assembly and made an emotionally charged speech that Pakistan would wage a war for a thousand years. He made sure that precious moments are lost so that the Pakistan army surrendered in East Pakistan. Then we heard the famous slogan “Idhar hum udhar tum” (we be here in West Pakistan, you be in East Pakistan). This was Mr. Bhutto’s statement.

When Bhutto became Prime Minister, he faced opposition to his rule from PNA (Pakistan National Alliance). The movement was for removal of Bhutto after he had rigged the 1977 elections. Why? Because now Bhutto had become another Ayub and was seen as a hurdle to U.S. agenda. Kissinger is reported to have said to Bhutto, “we will make a horrible example of you”. To understand the current chaos it is necessary that we all read the book “Profiles of Intelligence” by Brig(r) Syed A. I. Tirmizi, a former Director Counter Intelligence in ISI. Some lines from the book are worth mentioning here to understand the present situation. According to the author, “The Americans had successfully cultivated a number of well placed bureaucrats, PPP stalwarts, and ministers who wittingly or inadvertently served as U.S. agents of influence.” “All that was being sent out by these so called foreign journalists, who were actually CIA operators, was being beamed back on Pakistan as a psychological warfare and propaganda aimed at building up a scenario of Bhutto’s fall.” “PL-480 funds had also been release by the U.S. Overnight some Jamaat-e-Islami workers were seen with pockets full of money and spending lavishly.” “We had reports from Karachi that exchange rate of U.S. dollar in open market had considerably dropped. The market was flooded with U.S. currency notes and too many people were trying to exchange U.S. dollars for Pakistan rupee. Who unloaded all those U.S. currency notes in the market, is a question not difficult to answer.” “In April, a PNA procession, led by Jamaat-e-Islami workers, was moving along Queens road, Lahore. When it neared the American Center, USIS Public Affairs Officer Christopher L. Sholes and his Pakistani advisor Amjad Khan were seen standing on the roof of the building. The crowd and the leaders, true to their loyalties started raising pro-U.S. slogans. Sholes waved back at the crowd with the excitement of a child. He must have been happy that the U.S. funds and schemes were really working.” This is the level of U.S. psy-ops in Pakistan. This also shows the level to which Pakistani politicians can go to grab power even if it means destroying national interest or the nation itself. The politicians have been playing these dirty games since a long time. Right now similar things are going on.

The reason to remove Musharraf was that he had become an impediment to U.S. and he had to be removed from the scene and replaced with Zardari. To say anything about Zardari is meaningless. We just have to suffer under his rule and we all deserve it because we as a nation fell into poetic verbal gymnastics of U.S and Pakistani media, the so called “democracy” and civilian rule. The coming long march and sit-in drama about to be unfolded by all these politicians is a big threat to the national security of this country. At a time when Obama is about to unleash a direct war inside Pakistan, when the Indian Army wants to attack Pakistan, when the Indian Navy wants to blockade Karachi, When RAW, CIA, Mossad are trying to break up the country like former Yugoslavia, Imran Khan has the guts to come on TV and say that restoration of Iftikhar Chaudhry is the biggest issue facing Pakistan. No, you are wrong Imran, it’s not. You and all other politicians are lying to the public! Imran mentions in his talk with Dr. Shahid Masood that his party will be funding the long march and sit in. Amazing isn’t it? Can you please give us the details of where that money is coming from? Will Mr. Nawaz Sharif tell the public the official details of his talks with Richard Holbrooke and Ann Patterson? I dare Mr. Sharif to tell the truth to Pakistani public. Can you tell us what personal guarantees you asked from Bill Clinton when you went to surrender Pakistani stance during Kargil War? The biggest problem facing Pakistan is not the so-called lawyers’ movement. It is external threats from our enemies and internal threats from these corrupt politicians. They are like wolves after a deer. Too many wolves will kill the deer and each other as well. We the people of Pakistan will not be duped this time around. This is now or never, we must take these politicians to task! This time Yahya Khan will not get a military burial, and Bhutto will not become Prime Minister. This time Jamat-e-Islami and its new found nuisance-spreading partner PTI will not be allowed to fool us. Nawaz Sharif will be the sore loser in all this. Say whatever you may about Sheikh Rasheed, but he got one thing right, Pakistan can’t afford another sham mid-term elections. We don’t want ‘Yankee coated Democracy’; we will only accept a government of the people for the people, not a government of westernized, self-ashamed, afraid to call themselves Muslim neo-liberal elite class. This system governed by crooks has to go it can’t be reformed. Imran Khan is wrong again when he thinks that restoring Iftikhar Chaudhry will bring a revolution in this country. Imran please go read some books on what a revolution really is and how it comes about. Stop fooling the Pakistani people

Pakistan Zindabad.

Note: I admire Imran Khan for his cricketing skills, social work like his hospital and other projects, but I don’t like his politics. And thank God I didn’t join PTI; I was very close to joining PTI. A right decision on my part. Writer is a Communications Engineer, and independent analyst based in Karachi, Pakistan.

I have been reading your articles with great enthusiasm and with the learning attitude in order to understand the real problems facing Pakistan as a nation today.

I just came across this article and noticed that (free of any prejudice) you attack everybody like suicide bomber and fail to recognise a very simple fact about the long march. Yes the long march served the purpose of imperialist agenda to an extent but have a far reaching impact on the need for Pakistani nation to wake up to the realities and mobilise. Talk of a revolution, how we gather masses who have been dormant for the last forty odd years. Have a plan? All the military/civil Dictators came to power because of the absence of a real judicial system in our beloved country and the later patriotic conversion of some of these dictators only did more harm to this country than to mend their bad deeds, a worse one came. Mind you, the ones who lived in the aftermath of their demise experienced a lavished lifestyle.

What sort of critic you are (with all due respect to your patriotic analysis) you attack everybody and leave one of the worst one out. IK also said that Reinstatement of CJ is just a beginning and CJ has an immense responsibility to deliver. You are missing a great deal about the way IK going about doing his politics. He is not a big speaker but means well.

As you rightly mention a verse where Allah say they plan and I plan as well. He also says be patient and wait as I (Allah) am waiting.

Brother we should have a good opinion of others (in particular steadfast one) so that Allah might change our state of affairs
